The vivid purple and intense color of the second vintage of Rosso Toscana is immediately convincing. The nose is totally fruit-forward with a praiseworthy ripeness. The blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Syrah gives complexity to the nose which shows violet floral notes well layered with cherry and plum jam along with a mineral note of graphite, musky tones and a hint of black pepper. Rosso Toscana shows a deep consistency in the mouth in terms of a pleasant drinkability, a medium body palate with fresh and ripe juicy flavors wrapped into plum tannins. Tobacco, tea leaves and black cherry aftertaste lingers on a finish. It's a value wine and it makes you feel its Tuscan soul and at the same time the overall appeal is very forward due to its modern style focused on a deep balance. It promises to evolve gracefully over the next five years.
